If you have Atrial fibrillation and an increased risk of stroke, we have to reduce your risk with either medications or procedures.

If your risk of stroke is increased we will recommend that you use oral anti-coagulants (or blood thinners) that can reduce the risk of stroke significantly. These medications are widely used today and they successfully reduce the risk of stroke. The new class of medications called Direct Oral Anticoagulants do not require you to have frequent blood work or a restricted diet.

All blood thinners may increase your risk of bleeding. It is important for us to monitor and also to understand your bleeding risk. And for patients that have had bleeding problems or have a very high risk of bleeding or a lifestyle that makes the use of our anti-coagulants dangerous there are alternatives to consider today.

Left atrial appendage closure is a procedure that can be performed to reduce the risk of stroke without the need of lifelong oral anticoagulant use.
